Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 12.8 over 40 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
medium
Batting
Too many aerial dismissals
16 of 22 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 13.7.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.77.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 42 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 65 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.30 for the level played (Club 20). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 20 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 18 catches + 5 run outs (3 direct, 2 assisted) in 57 matches — 0.40 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 40 innings at 12.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 83 wickets in 55 matches bowled in (of 57 played) — 1.51 per match at 13.7, economy 2.77, strike rate 29.7.
